The original Star Boy!

Get ready to grab your enemies... and head-butt them! Today Ristar, originally released in 1995 for the SEGA Genesis, joins the SEGA Forever collection as a free-to-play mobile title with ad support. Players can now download the game for free from the App Store for iPhone and iPad and Google Play Store for Android devices.

In Ristar, players explore six planet levels as a shining shooting star with stretchable arms, grabbing on to surroundings and enemies alike in an effort to topple Greedy, the evil tyrant who has taken ahold of the galaxy of Valdi.

With added features including leaderboards, cloud saves, controller support, and more, this official emulation of the unique side-scrolling platformer Ristar is the latest game to join SEGA Forever, a growing collection of classic SEGA titles from every console era that are available free-to-play (with ad support) for mobile devices. Additionally, players who wish to experience the games without ads can remove them for a one-time in app purchase priced at $1.99.
